Description

Hi,

Recently I ran the coremark on HiFive1 board, https://www.sifive.com/products/hifive1/

With GCC, my test result is 2.66, the official data is 2.73. They are very close.

With LLVM built from https://git.llvm.org/git/llvm.git 02bcd70eea, the test result is 1.79, about 2/3 of the GCC result.

At the same time, I found similar comparison here:

In this Thesis, the LLVM dhrystone result is not good.

Are these results reasonable? Do you have internal test result? thanks a lot.

Research direction

Review the CoreMark results reported for the HiFive1 board, comparing GCC with the LLVM commit 02bcd70eea. Check the linked LLVM repository and the cited Dhrystone thesis for comparable benchmark methodology. Done means establishing whether the performance gap is expected or producing a reproducible discrepancy for maintainers to investigate.
